Scottish Emigration Reading List, part two

The Bookshelf

As promised, here is the part two of the suggested reading list. If I have not yet provided you with enough reading material, I have added a resource list on Scottish emigration prepared by the Library of Congress to the links list. The books on it are a bit dated, but might be useful.

Tony Parker was the panel commentator for the first paper I ever gave. I was petrified because I was the first presenter for the entire conference. Tony was very kind and generously suggested many books for me to read.

I first tripped across this volume at the National Library of Scotland. I poured through it looking for entries of Ohio bound emigrants and "discovered" Scotch Settlement in the process. Very successful research day.
